Expanding rows
Hi, I have this ongoing problem on Wireshark in which all rows in the UI will suddenly expand to around 6x the standard row height, creating huge amounts of blank space. (I'd upload a screenshot except I don't have permissions)
Unlike column width there doesn't seem to be a way to readily change row height, and reloading the pcap is the only solution. This becomes very arduous and I usually give up whatever I was trying to do.
I found these reported bugs which sound similar to my issue, but it's beyond my ability to follow the technicalities. I've also noticed, as reported below, that the expansion happens when I click on, or simply scroll past, a particular packet.

Bizarrely this problem seems to persist even through updates and clean re-installations. Perhaps I can add a line to qt.conf to permanently fix the row size to 1? I believe there are Qt functions such as uniformRowHeights() which may enable me to do this, but I don't know how. At this stage I'd be very happy with any kind of "hack" to fix the issue.
Thanks

I found an earlier bug report here, but this may have only fixed the problem for LDAP specifically?

Yes, this was a fix for LDAP specifically. The expanding rows is actually by design, see comment 5 and bug 10924. So one mans bug is another mans feature it seems...
